Answer:
x = 1.43 or [tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First use the distributive property to apply the negative to the left, and the 2 to the right side.
Now your problem looks like:
-x + 2 = 6x - 12
Next, we can add 12 to both sides to get rid of the -12 on the right side.
Now, your problem looks like:
-x + 10 = 6x
Next, to get the coefficient on the right isolated, you can add x to both sides to get rid of the -x on the left.
Now, your problem looks like:
10 = 7x
Next, you can divide both times by the number in the coefficient term, which is 7.
Now, your problem is solved, and looks like:
x = 1.43 or x = [tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex]
